This week, TIME released its list of the 100 most influential people of 2022.
Celebrities such as Zendaya and others were included in the list of those who have had a significant impact on the culture in the past year.
Zendaya has been included on Time 100’s annual list of the most influential people in the world. Film director Denis Villeneuve has written a short essay about the actress and model’s career thus far, as well as how she has influenced the culture this year.
“Zendaya seems a millennium older than she actually is. There have been many previous incarnations of her before this one, “Villeneuve gets the ball rolling. “As if that weren’t enough, she’s just as young as spring. She also gives the impression that she was born in the distant future by some inexplicable paradox. She’s got it all, and she’s got it all in spades.”

This year, everyone was thinking about the actress as they watched her character, Rue, fight addiction on the hit HBO series Euphoria.. Along with Sam Levinson’s Malcolm & Marie and Spider-Man: No Way Home and the aforementioned Dune, she has also appeared in major motion pictures.
Villeneuve continues by praising Zendaya by her name “An iconoclast in the making. A person who uses authenticity as a new superpower and is driven by inspiration, empathy, and respect for her craft. She appears fearless, has deep roots, and I adore the fact that she still laughs like a child. She represents the future.”
One hundred people who had the most influence in the year 2022 were announced on May 23 by Time magazine in six categories: innovators, titans of industry, thought leaders, cultural Icons, and trailblazers. A number of high-profile celebrities, including Zendaya and others such as Oprah Winfrey, Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum were also included on the list.
